Circuit Description

The clutch pedal position (CPP) sensor is an input to the engine control module (ECM). The CPP sensor is a potentiometer type sensor with a 5-volt reference signal circuit, a low reference signal circuit, and a sensor signal circuit. The ECM supplies the 5-volt reference signal to the CPP sensor.

With the pedal released the CPP sensor signal should read above 4 volts. With the pedal fully depressed the CPP sensor signal should read below 1 volt.

When the ECM detects a Not Learned condition of the CPP sensor, DTC P080A sets. DTC P080A is a Type B DTC.

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC P080A Clutch Pedal Position Not Learned

Conditions for Setting the DTC

With the clutch pedal fully released, if the CPP sensor detects greater than 4.7 volts or less than 3.25 volts for greater than 6 seconds then DTC P080A sets.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • The ECM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in which the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met.
    • The ECM records the operating conditions when the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. The ECM stores this information as Freeze Frame and Failure Records.
    • The ECM stores DTC P080A in ECM history during the second consecutive trip in which the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • The ECM turns OFF the MIL during the third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic test runs and passes.
    • A scan tool can clear the MIL/DTC.
    • The ECM clears the DTC from ECM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without an emission related diagnostic fault occurring.

Diagnostic Aids

This code is usually set when a new controller or a new CPP sensor has been installed and has not gone through the CPP Sensor Learn Procedure yet. Electrical circuit faults of open, short to ground, or short to voltage are covered by other DTCs.
